Endangered Species (Import and Export) Act 1976
Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

(1) For the purposes of this Act an individual of the family Hominidae (man) is not an animal. (2) In this Act a reference to a dead animal of any particular kind includes a reference to the body of an animal of that kind— (a) which is frozen, dried or preserved by chemicals, or (b) which, although not complete (whether because it has been eviscerated or because it has had the whole of its inside removed and has been stuffed, or for any other reason), is substantially complete and externally substantially resembles the complete body of an animal of the kind concerned. (3) In this Act a reference to a dead plant of any particular kind includes a reference to a plant of that kind— (a) which is frozen, dried or preserved by chemicals, or (b) which, although for any reason not complete, is substantially complete and externally substantially resembles a complete dead plant of the kind concerned. (4) In this Act “enactment” includes an enactment of the Parliament of Northern Ireland or of the Northern Ireland Assembly and an Order in Council having the same effect as such an enactment. (5) Except in so far as the context otherwise requires, a reference in this Act to any other enactment is a reference to that enactment as amended, and includes a reference to it as extended or applied, by or under any other enactment, including this Act.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".
Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.
A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
